After *The Voice Knows My Name*, Luca Ashborne (Sonic Blooms) is not alone anymore. He has found Seraphine. A voice outside the noise. A hand reaching through the static. A love he wants to hold onto, even when the storm inside him keeps pushing her away. Have you ever loved someone while knowing you were becoming hard to love? That is where this song begins. "I Tried To Calm You" is the sound of two people standing inside the same emotional collapse. Luca is spiralling, fighting the voice in his head, drowning in panic, anger and shame. Seraphine tries to reach him. She tries to slow his breathing, soften the room, bring him back. But love is not magic. Sometimes the person trying to save you becomes the person you hurt. This song introduces Seraphine not as a cure, but as someone real. Someone who loves Luca, fears for him, and slowly realises that staying beside someone broken can break you too. Dark, emotional, cinematic and intimate, I Tried To Calm You is for anyone who has ever tried to hold someone together while falling apart themselves. Sonic Blooms are not telling a simple love story. They are showing what happens when love walks into the noise and refuses to look away. This track will be release as part of the Sonic Blooms story on youtube music and Itunes end of June 2026 more

Digging into the vault today! 🗝️ This is an older track of mine where I experimented with a blend of Brit-pop, pop-rock, and a bit of a theatrical Cabaret/Broadway vibe. It’s a bit more vulnerable and different from my usual gritty sound. I’d love to hear your thoughts on the lyrics and the overall progression. Does the chorus hook you? Let me know in the comments!more
